Mann, who has lived in Deerfield since 2000, is a retired educator and small business owner with a master’s degree in education.

Mann has previously served two terms in the House of Representatives, where she served on the Committee on Public Works and Highways. She is involved in the Community Church and the Deerfield Fair, and in 2006 she received the Sherburne award for service to the Deerfield community.

“Government works best when all involved put the interests of citizens ahead of partisan politics,” she said in a recent email. “My vision for my district and my state is to reach consensus on the services government should supply, and then find realistic and fair revenue sources to provide those services.”
